Copying Paths

Overview

The file explorer provides the ability to copy the full path of a folder to the system clipboard. This is useful for referencing folder locations in code, configuration files, build scripts, or when communicating paths to team members or support.

How to Copy a Path

To copy a folder's path, right-click on the folder in the file tree and select Copy Path from the context menu. The full path of the folder, relative to the project root, is copied to the system clipboard. A notification confirms the successful copy operation.

Use Cases

Copied paths can be used in several contexts within the Mutexer platform:

• Referencing file locations in program code using file I/O operations such as fopen() or subprocess.run().
• Specifying paths in configuration files that reference project assets.
• Providing exact folder locations when reporting issues or requesting support.
• Documenting file organization in project notes or runbooks.

INFO

The Copy Path action is available for folders only. To reference a specific file's path, copy the parent folder's path and append the file name.
